Uncovering The Love Of Jesus (Review)
Uncovering the Love of Jesus is a Lenten devotional by author Asheritah Ciuciu.
The Lenten devotional is divided into seven weeks. Each week has devotionals to read plus activities to prepare the reader for Resurrection (Easter) Sunday. The author gives daily invitations to open your own Bible and read the story for yourself.
Uncovering the Love of Jesus devotional is written to be shared among family members but could also be done individually. One of my favorite parts is the crafts.
I would recommend the Lenten devotional to friends and family members of every denomination. Uncovering the Love of Jesus is written for all Christians.

Sacred Holidays (Review)
Sacred Holidays is a resource guide book by author Becky Kiser.
The book is divided into three parts. Part one and the introduction are planned to be read first. The second part is to be read 30-60 days before that holiday. And, the third part is planned to be read anytime. Some of the holidays included are New Years’, Valentine’s Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
The thesis of the book is to help readers choose the good portion, the better way. Do you want to celebrate the holidays, but prefer them all to be Christ-centered? The author helps you do just that. I believe the author wrote the book to inform the reader how they can make Jesus the center of each holiday.
My favorite holiday listed in the book is Lent. It is the one I know the least about. Many Christians I know don’t celebrate Lent. Yet, it is one worth celebrating.
I liked this book so much I bought myself a print copy so I could journal in it. So, I highly recommend this book to all women in all stages and ages of life. I do think teen girls would enjoy this book as much as adult women.

Sarai’s Journey (Book 2)
The Inn of the Healer is a Biblical fiction novel by author Michelle L Levigne. It is book 2 of the Sarai’s Journey series.
In book 2 Jesus is alive! He has risen from the dead! Sarai is a devout follower of Christ and Saul was a devout follower of the Sanhedrin. Would Saul ask for forgiveness and follow Christ? Or, would he continue in his fanatical ways of having His followers scourged and imprisoned?
This book moved rather slowly for me, but by the end I was in tears. I recommend reading book 2 after reading book 1. This series makes a great Passover/Easter series.

BRIDGES NASHVILLE RELEASES “JESUS YOU ARE”
Worship team members from downtown Nashville, Tennessee-based Bridges Nashville church spent the week of March 23, 2020 recording video and audio from their respective homes for their new single “Jesus You Are” releasing today (Good Friday, April 10) from Venture3Media (V3M). The song is available now at Apple Music, iTunes, Spotify, Google Play and additional digital and streaming outlets globally. A Bridges Nashville: Jesus You Are Deluxe Version is also available as exclusives from Apple Music and iTunes.
Following back-to-back hardships faced by the church planted Sept. 2018 by Kurtis Parks in partnership with National Community Church, a multi-site church led by Pastor and NY Times best-selling author Mark Batterson, “Jesus You Are” has been an anthem for the church to sing over the last couple months.
“Worship songs can become altar-moments to God’s faithfulness, even in a tough season,” shares Parks, Bridges Nashville’s lead pastor and co-writer of the song with worship leader Delaney Ramsdell.
Over the last couple months, the church, which gathers at The Listening Room Café in downtown Nashville, had all of its signage, worship and production equipment stolen followed a week later by a devastating tornado that ripped through the areas of Nashville the church serves. Now dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic, Bridges Nashville’s worship team remotely gathered online from their sheltering locations across the US to record the song from their homes. “From Texas to Virginia, and all in between, while social distancing, we were unified in worship,” shares Parks.
With Travis Flynn editing the resulting iPhone video and Patrick McDermott and Cordell Bay mixing the audio, Bridges Nashville initially shared the “Jesus You Are” recording on its Facebook page April 3, which was quickly viewed by tens-of-thousands and shared hundreds of times.
“We knew that this is a song for right now, for our world and what we are all going through,” says Parks in the song story video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGmQuY2csxw&feature=youtu.be. “The words of the bridge say that Jesus is the Prince of Peace and the Son of Truth. If there are two things our world needs to be reminded of right now, it’s that God is peace in the midst the storm and Jesus is the way, the truth and the life even among confusion and much doubting. I pray that as you listen to this song, it’s an inspiration and hope-filling for you today.”
Prince of peace, Son of truth
Maker of all things new
Jesus You are, Jesus You are
More of You, less of me
Who is worth everything
Jesus You are, Jesus You are
(“Jesus You Are” bridge.)
